Nonprofit to launch program in Indianapolis
LINDSEY ERDODY | Indianapolis Business Journal
INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana s first dedicated residential facility for homeless young adults who identify as LGBTQ will open its doors this year in Indianapolis, providing services that advocates say are desperately needed.
The initiative is years in the making. Trinity Haven, now an independent nonprofit, started as a project of Trinity Episcopal Church in 2016 as the church sought suggestions for how to use a vacant house it owned.
Leigh Ann Hirschman, Trinity Haven s board president and a member of the church, said leaders talked to local not-for-profits, including the Indiana Youth Group, which serves youth ages 12 to 20 who identify as LGBTQ. They learned that those young people often experience homelessness and have few places to go.
